The first time saxophonist Dave Koz played Wolf Trap, he opened for Ray Charles, in a major moment of his early career. Now, a seasoned artist with 12 albums and 20 years of successes behind him, he returns to the Filene Center with close friend BeBe Winans.

“Wolf Trap is one of my favorite places going back many years,” Koz said. “It’s a beautiful spot where people love to come out for the shows. This time, they’ll see two close friends coming together, even though we’re very different people. We’re a gospel and jazz guy who shouldn’t be in the same orbit. Instead, we have great fun onstage putting together a show.”
